When Life Gives You Lemons...

Chop the darn things up for cocktail garnish !

[NorthernFocus]

Excellent. No clue how you did it, but the result is cool.

Bravo! this is excellent. How did you do it?

[IzzieK]

How Terry did it? -- selective erasing...and I am guessing.

[Quentin88]

I bet there is a hidden Ninja slicing the lemon mid-air.
Joke a part... nice shot.

[Shadowman]

Very dramatic.

(Who needs lemonade? )

Agreed. The sugar in lemonade is bad for you. But it tastes so good sitting in the sweltering sun on a hot summer day at a baseball game.

I wish we could see a larger image so we could fully appreciate the wonderful texture in the lemons and the bright detail of the full length of the cutting edge of the knife and the bottom right side of the knife handle.

My initial reaction was that the image is exceptionally dramatic, thanks to the lighting and bizarre relationship of a knife and a cut lemon floating in the air. My second reaction was to wonder why a knife and a cut lemon would ever be floating in the air. My third reaction was that the image is sort of like an Escher drawing; it looks really cool but in reality could never exist as depicted on its own. My fourth reaction is that any image that makes you think so much about it is really good for that reason alone, let alone the first three reasons.

The more I think about the "impossible" nature of the image, the more I like that aspect of it. It would make a great theme for you to expand upon by making a series of "impossible" images.

My first thought was Gin....

Great great shot

[Manfred M]

Another beautifully executed shot Terry. Well done!

[Brownbear]

Hi Terry,

Just to say that I think this image is absolutely beautiful, indeed magical. And one of my all time favourites of your images... (the other is your mountain scape) Which speaks to your photographic brilliance as I never thought that an image of a knife could be beautiful.

Highly imaginative and simply stunning!

PS The lemon is exquisite!

[AndrewMcD]

To first imagine such an image and then to actually make it; blows my mind! Brilliant!

[Mike Buckley]

To first imagine such an image

requires having a warped mind.

[John 2]

Love to know how you did that. Loads of impact. Great shot.

[flashback]

There's nothing I can add other than: ditto!

[Wavelength]

I am shocked

[Rita]

Totally wonderful and amazing.

[dabhand]

Everyone else has used up all the superlatives, so +1 to all of them, and thanks for work which is not only classical but does a really terrific job of stretching the imagination.
